Makunouchi: Kubonouchi Eisaku Kessakushuu

This book gathers early short works by Kubonouchi Eisaku, a seinen manga writer recognized for series like Chocolat, Cherry and Watanabe. The collection includes pieces such as *Laplace Yocchore!*, *Tosamaru-kun*, *Bell Robot High School Girl Kaoruko's "Heartbreak"*, *Bizzare -- The Terror of the Salmon-Man*, *Robot High School Boy Kawarazaki Ayumu's "Seishun-I-N-G"*, *Help! Viva Eros Academy*, *Okappiki Eiji*, and *Dream of Pumping Up Present*. The term "Makunouchi" refers to a type of bento historically served during Kabuki performances, possibly named after meals eaten by audience members or performers during intermissions, as the phrase literally means "behind the curtain."
